And We Thought Touchscreens Were Cool... Try Touchless!

CRAZY. Just saw the video above and had to post. For all of you who love having a big display on your smartphone but hate the thought of fingerprint-smudged glass, you'll be glad to hear there is a company working on the solution to your problem... enter eyeSight.

The video above features Itay Katz, CEO of eyeSight, as he explains and demonstrates eyeSight's touch-free smartphone technology. Now all we need is a BlackBerry with a forward facing camera and to get these guys developing for the BB platform. RIM? BlackBerry Partners Fund? We reading this??! Let's get it done! :-)

And We Thought Touchscreens Were Cool... Try Touchless!

i don't think driving ould be that much of an issue. if the device was "mounted" then simple hand gestures would be a normal flow of dily activity like reaching to change the radio station, adjusting mirrors, holding someones hand or putting your hand on someones leg.

I still like touch screens much more, and i do agree that somehow in the future we will have smugless and fingerprintless screens somehow, or at least i hope we do someday.

This howevr is a good idea for a start out idea it has many applications and possabilities

Seems interesting. One of those things I think you'd have to try and see how you feel about it. Overall, there's no way it could match the convenience or features of a touch screen. Not even close. I still prefer the standard QWERTY though.

Seriously this is really cool but there's no way they'll keep the name eyesight without a lawsuit from apple hanging over them if they release it with that name. Isight is the name for apple's camera's in their screens so they'll need to change it. I honestly thought when he said wii he would start moving the phone arround. Guess I'll have to settle looking like an ideot moving my hand up and down with people thinking I'm going wth. lol. Nice find though. Can't wait to see more of this and how they'll improve it. Maybe with that camera there video calls won't be too far away.

That would definitely be cool, but I can just picture myself trying to call someone in a public place and people looking at me like I'm crazy. Or, I would prolly try to text someone and my motions would send something totally mean. Or, I would prolly wave my hands and accidentally hit someone in the face or throw my phone...sooo maybe this isn't the best phone for me.

The Stargate is closing for good...on television anyway. Sci Fi Channel today quietly revealed that Stargate Atlantis would not be renewing the show for a sixth season and that season five, currently airing, would be its last. Stargate Atlantis is a spin-off of Stargate SG-1, which ran for 10 years on both Showtime and Sci Fi beginning in 1997. Atlantis began airing in 2004, and will conclude with its 100th episode in January 2009. Atlantis built on the successful science-fiction franchise created by the 1994 MGM film Stargate, and follows a crew of explorers who travel to a far off galaxy to learn about the lost city of Atlantis. The show won't simply blink out of existence, however. The show's cancellation came in a press release revealing that a Stargate Atlantis movie is in the works. Following in the bootprints of fellow fare such as Battlestar Galactica and SG-1.

Could lead to some very embarrassing moments. Your phone is on the night stand you forget its there, and start doing something you dont want anyone else to know about, and inadvertantly video conference call every one in your contact list. " OH my GOD MARTHA WHATS LITTLE JOHNNY DOING TO HIMSELF!!!" "Ewwwww turn it off"
